For years the "Islamic state of Iran" regime and its supporters have constantly warned Iranians “If your government falls, the country will collapse.”
The regime constantly invoked fears of civil war, national breakup, or “becoming another Syria.” Since everyone knew Syria was a total disaster, this threat was effective in scaring Iranians into passivity: Any oppression by the regime was better than turning into Syria!
So predictably, the regime framed any protests as a dangerous step toward chaos. "Do you want to become like Syria? Of course not!" So no matter how oppressive the regime got, most Iranians saw it as better than the alternatives.
But as the regime became more oppressive, and the economy worsened, that began to change. On the ground, the feared chaos didn't happen. Instead of social breakdown, people showed solidarity across ethnic, religious, and social lines. Instead of disorder, a form of self-organization emerged—based on mutual care, trust, and practical cooperation.
Slogans such as “Neither Shah nor Mullahs” made this clear. Society was rejecting both forms of authoritarianism: monarchy and religious rule. Protesters were not looking backward; they were pointing toward a new idea—citizens governing themselves.
Of course this is the siren song of the communists: "You can govern yourselves." And if true, that would be great--but the communists always rise to rule.
The mullahs have never tolerated protests, responding to protests with violence. [The regime killed 36,500 Iranians in three days in January.]
Experience shows that when a regime responds to protests with force, it's a sign of declining legitimacy.
Slogans like “Death to oppressors, whether Shah or Supreme Leader” began appearing.
Another clue that this source is likely to be the communists.
While the regime's IRGC still holds all the weapons, the old fear stories that regime change will guarantee chaos are no longer persuasive.
What's emerging is a firm “No” to inherited power, religious rule, and authoritarianism in all its forms.
"A firm no to inheirited power" is clearly a swipe at the son of the late Shah, which again suggests that the website that posted this is run by communists, since Reza Pahlavi is the biggest rival the communists have for ruling if the Islamic regime falls.
A reasonable question is, if you're trying to overthrow a repressive regime, should you ally with people who, if you succeed, are determined to seize total power? Cuz history shows that the communists almost always win post-revolution power struggles because they're SO experienced at it.
One of the reasons they win is that the idealistic non-communist believers in freedom naively believe that other citizens want the same thing they do, so they're always surprised by how fast and ruthlessly the communists seize control--because the communists are totally organized, while the naive young men who have just overthrown the mullahs are still celebrating their historic win.
Because the freedom-lovers are both naive and unorganized, they're easy pickins' for the disciplined, organized communists.
And once the communists have flooded the new government with Party members, there's no way to ever get 'em out. They steal elections, and use the courts to protect fellow communists and jail anyone who protests--much like the Islamic regime.
So...best of luck to the people of Iran. Cuz IF you succeed in overthrowing the ghastly, murderous, totalitarian mullahs, you're in for another fight with new demons who are just as determined to rule as the mullahs. And if they win, you're in for another 40 or 50 years of oppression.
Ahh, I see American Democrats don't believe that. You ignorant bastards: look at Cuba or Venezuela, or what happened to all of eastern Europe after WW2. Any questions?
Actually you still don't have the faintest idea what really happened there, cuz your schools never taught you real history (by design) and you never thought to study it on your own. Why am I not surprised?
Search "Solidarity" in Poland. "Hungarian uprising 1956." "1989 Czech uprising." "Vaclav Havel." "Romanian revolution." If you don't know about all those, you're too uninformed to be a leader.
Of course it's not your fault: "Your" schools and Mainstream Media have deliberately made those things vanish--intentionally.
But why worry, eh? There's no threat here, citizen! No problem at all. Go back to your favorite TV programs! I hear "Dancing with the Stars" is good this season, as is "Nashville 9-1-1." Yep yep yep. Everything is just fine, tovarisch. Excuse me: "citizen."
